"Harry Potter, Sabrina
The Teenage Witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed. It seems we cant get
enough of all things magical or 'witchy' at the moment. The result of all this
interest is that Wicca has become the fastest growing religion in the UK. Wicca
is a nature-based spiritual path that celebrates the feminine, follows the
changing seasons of the year and is rich with magic and enchantment. But is it
all spells and hocus pocus?

Kate West's grounded introduction to the Craft separates the Hollywood myth
from the everyday reality, with all the practical advice you need to follow the
Wiccan way. There are many coffee-table pretenders around, but Kate West is the
real thing. Her Witchcraft is about passion, not fashion! She explores the myths
that surround Witchcraft, its festivals, beliefs, practices and folklore. She
explains the responsibilities of becoming a Witch and provides plenty of magical
and herbal spells you can work with - from charms to help you attract your ideal
partner to healing potions for natural beauty to affirmations that will help you
find empowerment. Witchcraft can help you to become personally fulfilled as it
teaches you take control of yourself and your life. Whether you want to join a
group or a work alone, this is a great guide to Wicca."

"And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them."
—Ephesians 5:11

Witches have good reason to be excited about
Harry Potter. The
book series is giving the "craft" a huge boost. No wonder that when interviewed
by USA Today, a warlock endorsed Harry Potter and bubbled with excitement
at the series’ wide acceptance by the mainstream.

He’s a charmer, that Harry Potter. The adolescent hero of
J. K. Rowling’s series rides a broom, owns an invisibility cloak and magic
wand, and has cast a spell over young readers the world over. He has
modern-day witches enchanted too. "For once, the witches aren’t ugly old
hags," said Michael Darnell, 39, a computer programmer from Winnipeg, Canada,
who has been a practicing witch for over twenty-five years. "For once they’re
the protagonists rather than the villains."

harmless nature-worshipping religion. He later learned it was one of Satan's
most clever recruiting tools, designed to lead many into actual Satan worship.)

Acts 13:10,
“O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the Devil,
thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the
right ways of the Lord?”

Here's another Hogwart's Witchcraft
school where children are taught divination, charms, and potions. This
site is maintained by a 15-year old Canadian girl (just one of millions of young
Satanist's being groomed to prepare the stage for the coming antichrist).

“Harry in an absolute godsend to our cause,”said High Priest “Egan” of the First Church of Satan in Salem, MA. “An organization like ours thrives on new blood - no pun intended - and
we've had more applicants than we can handle lately."

The truth of the Satanic nature of the Harry Potter series can be
easily seen by anyone who is reasonably familiar with basic occult
principles. In these books, we see standard Judeo-Masonic
beliefs and practices being openly taught to children. The
author, J. K. Rowling, has publicly stated that she intended for her
Harry Potter books to be read by children approximately 10 years and
up. Yet the books are wildly popular amongst children as young as
age 5 - and perhaps even younger. For five years the author
worked on the first book as she plotted out the entire seven-novel
series, one for each year of Harry's education at Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry.

We indeed see standard Witchcraft philosophies and world views
espoused, together with occult beliefs about death and
reincarnation, including the current "morality" teaching that there
is no absolute right or wrong, that the "ends justify the means" -
teachings straight from the pages of the Babylonian Talmud.

But as wild as children seem to be about Harry, no one is happier
about the phenomenon than the old-school Satanists, who were
struggling to recruit new members prior to the publication of the
first Potter book in 1997. “Harry in an absolute godsend to our cause,”said High Priest “Egan” of the First Church of Satan in Salem, MA.
“An organization like ours thrives on new blood - no pun intended -
and we've had more applicants than we can handle lately." In 1995, it was estimated that some 100,000 Americans, mostly
adults, were involved in devil-worship of some sort. Today, more
than 14 million children alone belong to the Church of Satan, thanks
largely to the unassuming boy wizard from 4 Privet Drive. Yes,
the numbers ARE horrific, but the total sales of Harry Potter books,
plus the natural hand-me-down factor where many people read a book
that has already been purchased, easily equals or exceeds this
staggering figure of 14 million.

But, most horribly, we see depictions of Satanism that are truly the
end of this age. We notice the evil Voldemort drinking the
blood of the Unicorn. Not only is drinking of blood forbidden
in Scripture, but Satanists do it consistently. Further, this
drinking of the blood of the unicorn, (a symbol of the New Age
Movement) delivers a very strong message as to how people will
relate to and ultimately accept the machinations of the coming
Antichrist.

The “Sorcerer's Stone" is also called the "Philosopher's Stone", and
is purely Cabbalistic in nature. Rosicrucianism as an example,
teaches that an Initiate will pass through five stages to become the
highest Adept possible, to be most proficient in exercising the
power of Satanism. They call this process the "Five Stages In
The Transmutation of the Soul.” The final stage is depicted by
the Phoenix Bird; the Adept is then said to have achieved the
"Sorcerer's Stone." Thus, the fact that the term "Sorcerer's
Stone" is the main title of the fifth book in this series, (and now
a highly acclaimed movie) suggests that the ultimate goal of all
students at Hogwarts is to achieve the holy Grail of the Sorcerer's
Stone.

Alchemy, as
it emerged in the middle ages, had its origins in the Hermetic
sciences that stemmed from the esoteric wisdom of ancient Egypt. The
ancient Egyptian name for their land was Kemet, from which we get
the words Chemistry and Alchemy. In Alchemy the sun and the moon
expressed archetypal principles, which, when united, symbolized the
harmonious relationship between the masculine and feminine elements.
This is represented by the HEXAGRAM.
Alchemy has long been an
Illuminist obsession, however most people think of Alchemy as being
the effort to change base metals into precious metals, including
gold. Certainly, this is part of alchemy, but on a
non-spiritual and purely physical level. The ultimate goal of the
Alchemist however, is to achieve eternal life through
self-transformation. Therefore, we find it highly interesting
that Headmaster Dumbledore is considered "the greatest wizard of
modern times.” Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of
the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve
uses of the dragon's blood and his work on alchemy.

The
book “The Sorcerer's Stone,” is the final stage in the occult drive
to achieve eternal life. In this volume, the ancient study of
alchemy is concerned with making the Sorcerer's Stone, a legendary
substance with astonishing powers. The stone will transform any
metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which
will make the drinker immortal. It’s also very interesting
that Rowling has made the creator of the Sorcerer's Stone 666
years old? As we have seen many times in this study, 666
is synonymous with antichrist and his Mark. [Revelation 13:18]
And since Rowling ties this number to the Elixir of Life, Harry
Potter is clearly teaching children that the way to achieve eternal
life is to obey the antichrist and take his Mark.

Here we include an
interesting and revealing extract from respected New Age Guru, Kris
Sherwood’s non-fiction workcalled:
“The Philosophers Stone.”

“The Philosopher’s Stone is an ancient
symbol that originates in the roots of Hermetic philosophy and the
alchemical arts. It is a metaphorical symbol of ultimate
accomplishment. It represents the reward to the quest for a ‘higher
purpose’; an allegorical concept of refinement of an element to its
perfection. And as such, to the medieval alchemist it was the
catalyst in the long sought after magical process that could
transmute lead into gold, and its resultant reward: The
Philosopher’s Stone. In a spiritual sense, attaining The
Philosopher’s Stone is a metaphor for ones’ personal evolution
toward perfection of the soul. It is the prize for achieving
spiritual enlightenment. It’s the ‘coming forth as gold’; the ’pearl
of great price’; being one with Cosmic Consciousness; having
undeniable personal experience of God. A graphic image
found in alchemical manuscripts of the Philosopher’s Stone is that
of a six-pointed star which In 1997, breathtakingly presented (as a perfectly formed crop-circle)at the foot of Silbury Hill (Fig.
1). It was the magnificent ‘Fractal Star of David’ A glorious
confirmation of our collective move toward higher consciousness.
The ‘Snowflake’ formations not only looked remarkably like the grid
of lines forming the alignment of the GaiaMind astrological chart
posted on my wall: they also contained the multiple and ancient
symbolic references and meanings of the six-pointed star/hexagram,
including: the two opposing overlayed triangles that are the
archetypal representation of the ‘sacred union’ of male and female
principles, the heiros gamos, the ‘chalice and the blade’; to
alchemists fire and water; also the Yin/Yang; the spinning double
tetrahedra of the known symbol of the Creator.”

"This Star
is the symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the
Christ-man. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which
again means the Star of the Son of man."GaiaMind

The official definition from
the “Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.”
Stone of the Philosophers: “A symbol of true spiritual attainment
and illumination. The search for the Philosopher’s Stone is the
search for ultimate truth and purity. The transmutation of
humanity’s lower nature into the Higher Self.”

In the “Key
to the Gnosis” by Nick Sandberg, we have yet another explanation of
the Philosophers Stone as something truly desirable in man’s search
for the ultimate “enlightenment”:
“The ancient science of alchemy purports to relate the process by
which an individual may acquire the ultimate "Elixir of Life" - a
magical potion believed to confer on the user both access to super
consciousness and, eventually, physical immortality. This Elixir,
flows from the Philosopher's Stone, once the former has been
confected by means of an elaborate and highly mystical process. An
increasingly open secret amongst those who still interest themselves
in this ancient art is that the processes described are largely
metaphorical. All of initial elements that need to be gathered
together - the various implements and reagents - are in fact
esoteric disciplines that the initiate must undertake in order that
he prepare his body to produce the fabled Elixir.”

What do professed Christians think about in the darkness of their imaginations? What do they watch on hell-I-vision and unholy-wood
(or holly-weird)? What do they listen to when no one is around? Could their
fellowship with the world affect their ability to overcome sin? Could it hinder their relationship with
the Lord Jesus Christ? James 4:4 says, Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Are you a friend of the world or of God?

Ezekiel 8:8-10, 12 -"Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me,
Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and
behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and
all the idols of the house of Israel,
pourtrayed[or displayed?] upon the wall
[or
TV?] round about. Then said he unto me, Son of man,
hast thou seenwhat THE ANCIENTS[supposed
spiritual leaders] of the house of Israel
do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth."

God knows what we watch on TV. It's just as bad to
watch adultery on TV as it would be for us to be in same room with them.
The TV has a desensitizing effect on its viewers. Sin is not shocking
anymore but rather becomes commonplace (no big deal). This is why many
people have become lackadaisical and acceptant of the wicked sin of sodomy. The following reads like a synopsis of hellivision and unholy-wood:

Romans 1:28-32 -"And even as
they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being
filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:"

Verse 32 is the clincher for the professed Christian that enjoys watching such things--

"Who
KNOWING the judgment of God, that
they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same,
BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM."

Watching/ reading/ listening to these things is having pleasure in them that do them.
The bottom line is that when we participate as willing observers we are having pleasure in sinners who are sinning.
This is an abomination to the Lord Jesus Christ! Galatians testifies
AGAINST the evil works that professed Christians ENJOY on hell-i-vision:

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I
tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such
things shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God." -Galatians 5:19-21

God is simply saying that these are the sins which condemn sinners to hell.
Once we are saved, we should no longer continue in these horrible sins.
Truly, we are all sinners on our way to hell if we don't get saved. The
ONLY hope is in Christ Jesus. If we will turn to the Lord Jesus Christ in
childlike faith for forgiveness of our sins, we may be saved and forgiven of ALL
the wrongs we have committed. A murderer is no longer viewed as a murderer
in God's eyes once he gets saved. The same is true of an adulterer.
His or her sins are washed away by the blood of Christ. However, once we
become a Christian, God expects us to grow spiritually and live according to the
Word of God (Romans 12:1-2; 1st Peter 2:2). If we continue to live in sin,
though we CANNOT lose our salvation, we grieve the Holy Spirit and do not grow
in the Lord. Christians who live in sin are held accountable by God at the
judgment seat of Christ, but their salvation is safe and sure in the arms of
Jesus. As believers, we should avoid the TV if we have a problem with it.
It is NOT a sin to own a TV, but it takes great responsibility nowadays to own
one. Like anything else, it's a double-edged sword! The technology
is a blessing, but the evil hearts of men make it a curse instead.

The Television has indeed become the "Hellivision"
and we would be wise to spend our time doing something more constructive.
